MIR. Chandeliers Ambition.

Ex-Secretary of the Navy, William E.
Chandler, of New Hampshire, has received
the caucus nomination of his party for
United States Senator, but it is not certain
that he will be elected. A ballot will be
taken at joint session of the Legislature
next Tuesday, and it is freely predicted that
If he is not elected then he will not be
elected at all. His party has good major
ity, but there is a strong minority of Re
publicans opposed to him, and this minority,
If it can effect combination with the Dem
ocrats, may defeat him.
Mr. Chandler has been trying for a long
time to get into the United States Senate,
and if he fails this time it is not probable
that he will ever have his ambition to figure
as Senator gratified He is a shrewd
politician and has done an immense amount
of work for his party. In working for his
party, however, he has always kept good
lookout for chances to promote himself In
fact it may be safely said that his chief idea
has always been to advance his own inter
ests. His was the busy brain that con-
cocted the scheme that put Hayes in the
White House, contrary to the wishes of
majority of the people. When other Repub-
lican leaders had given up the contest in
1876, and were ready to admit the election
of Mr.. Tilden, he arranged the fraud pro-
gramme.
1t is gratifying that there are Republicans
in New Hampshire who cannot be induced
to assist in honoring a man who took lead
ing part in that disreputable transaction. If
the New Hampshire Democrats cannot
themselves elect "A Senator, they might do
wise thing by helping to defeat Mr.. Chand-
Ter. No opportunity should be missed to
put the brand of condemnation, not only
upon the fraud of 1876, but, also, upon all
who had part in it,

they had to say to the charge of disorderly con

You ask us three poor, lone Inortals what

Insanity Among Farmers.

Statistics show that the percentage of
farmers who become insane is greater than
that of those engaged in other occupations
or in any of the professions A facetious
writer some days ago suggested that the
main reason why SO many farmers become
insane was that their reading was almost
wholly confined to the agricultural papers,
and that what they found in those papers
was enough to drive the strongest minded
men crazy. OF course this was intended to
be humorous thrust at the writers on ag-
riculture.
farmer, in communication to the New
York Sun, gives some reasons why the mum
Der of farmers who become insane is so
large. As rule they are not as prosperous
as they have right to expect to be- Their
crops fail, or partially fail, frequently, and
it is with the greatest difficulty that they
are able to make living and meet their OBJ
legations. The great majority of them are
IN debt and have mortgages on their farms
or personal property. These things are
source of constant worry to them. Having
very little to occupy their minds outside of
their farms and homes, their minds dwell
almost constantly on the unhappy condition
of their worldly affairs Constant worry
and the continual dwelling upon one sub
ject finally unsettles the minds of many of
them.
There is another thing that contributes to
bring about mental disorders among them
1t is their food. As general thing it lacks
variety and is badly prepared. The same
diet is adhered to pretty much all through
the year, and what they have is not cooked
as it should be. Physical ailments are pro-
duced which affect the mind. OF course we
do not refer to the very prosperous farmers
who are not oppressed with debt, and who
give as much attention to their tables as those
people who are in the most comfortable cir
cumstances, but to the great body of work
ing, striving farmers who are always hoping
for some happy turn in their affairs that
will put them out of the reach of poverty.
OF course the merchant and the profess
sional man have their troubles, but what
worries them one day is not what worries
them the next. A great variety of things
occupies their minds, and they are thus pre-
vented from falling into the dangerous
habit of thinking about one thing all the
time. They have, besides, many pleasures
of an intellectual and social character,
which help to keep their minds buoyant
| and free from gloomy forebodings
A farmers life is 4 very pleasant and de-
sirable one, provided it is not burdened with
| too much care and too much hard work. A
| farmer who owns a productive farm in q
healthy locality, and is entirely free from
| debt, is to be envied, but how small is the
! percentage of farmers in this enviable CON
dition! Poor land, poor food, debt and
hard work are things which the great ma
| jority of farmers of this country have to
contend with, and they contend with them
bravely. The wonder is that, considering
their hartlships, the percentage of their in
sane is not larger.

The MORNING NEWS will begin the pub
location next Sunday of a very bright and
intensely interesting story, entitled Mora
of the Adirondacks," by Anne E. Ellis. This
story was written for the MORNING NEWS,
and it will be found to be well worth read
ing. 1t contains thirty-eight chapters, and
grows in interest with each chapter. The
Presidents annual fishing excursion to the
Adirondacks lends new interest to that sec
ton of country, and story in which some
of its features are described can hardly fail
to be appreciated.

The New York Tribune says that a
diminutive. mild-eyed, meek-looking man,
in an ill-fitting suit of gray clothes, stood, the
other day, at the corner of Broadway and
Twenty third street, in New York, with a
strap around his neck to support a case in
which papers were offered for sale. He did
not look capable of saying "Ba" to sheep.
The papers which he had for sale, neverthe-
less, were fierce enough. They were copies of
John Most's Anarchist sheet and of Chicago
publications of similar character, in which
were dire threats of bloodshed and destruc-
ton Considering that he wore a gray suit,
it is strange that the Tribune didn't charge
the man with being an ex-Confederate.

Stirring Up a Hornets Nest.

IFUHt "Ie 4FtlU UIh " V7IU NIJFHt'J
Gen. John Pope will stir up hornets nest in
New England by his assertion, in the North
american Reuie,U that during our civil war,
the most tremendous commissions that is re-
corded in history New England produced neither
great soldier nor a statesman of commanding
influence" The explanation which the General
suggests of his alleged fact is that the tendency
of the uniform education in New England for a
generation or two had been, and still is to turn
ont men as much alike as buttons from a fac
ual development. Sumner and Wilson, Hamln,
Fessenden and Blaine, Collamer and Morrill,
were perhaps not great statesmen but they
ranked well with those of the wartime.
